$9/Year Wow, that sounds EXACTLY like Cisco!  Good job Cisco you have completed your takeover of Linksys.

It has been my experience that these boxes are made to last about 3 years and then mysteriously burn out.  Some do better than others, I think yours may have been a victim of statistics.  The radios do seem to "burn out".  If relishing the firmware doesn't do it, the box may be toast.
